EoniaBansbane Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's why I had the 502 error yesterday while downloading on Skyrim Nexus :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVirtuosity Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) There are many reasons why someone should have anti-virus software. It's not only preventing the site from DDos attacks, but it also protects your own computer. I have have Kaspersky Lab and it's by far the best anti-virus software I've used. Nobody wants to have their computer they spent money on to have problems, especially a virus. Edited July 18, 2013 by xVirtuosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyloritus Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) i bet those ddos attacks are done by some pissed of users of nexus because the rules are sometimes ridiculous and admins give bans for everyone like santa gives presents on christmas ;) so dear nexus - maybe it's not a coincidence, maybe you just asked for it and got it. nothing like this happens randomly Edited July 18, 2013 by xyloritus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasic Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 xyloritus, look, no one is 'asking' for this type of nonsense. I agree this is unlikely random. Some weenie got himself banned for being an idiot and now he seeks revenge by this bs. The Nexus sites have a set of rules, hard and fast rules. They can be harsh, and I don't agree with all of them but I follow them. Not unlike getting a drivers license. You may not like the rules but if you want to use the roads, you better obey them or expect to be punished. Not a difficult concept. If some little pissant gets banned because he can't follow a simple set of rules, whether he agrees with them or not, shame on him. As far as this DDOS stuff, This Too Shall Pass. It will be a pain in the neck for a few days and than the pissant will get bored and the Nexus will go on as before. Nothing really accomplished except some dweeb, living in his parents basement can claim some cred from his equally useless peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyKillerCat Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, it's hilarious if some kiddie is really venting his frustration on the Nexus sites. I really have a hard time wrapping my head around a notion that there are people so stupid yet so stubborn that they learn all this "hacking" stuff just to do stuff like this. Shouldn't they focus on big commercial and government sites instead where their attacks may have actual impact on something important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew1938 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 In response to post #8478877. Could just be troll hackers, or maybe their making sure their gun shoots before they go hunting big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmagikarp Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Want to NOT get banned? Don't post a comment unless it's to ask for help or tell the author of a mod how much you like their mod. This isn't a social networking site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
